Donna Brazile On The Nature Of Greatness

Donna Brazile, Al Gore’s 2000 campaign manager:

Don’t expect me to go out and say John Kerry is a great man and a visionary if you’re not running ads on African-American or Hispanic cable networks. Fair is fair. So send my dad a postcard, send my sisters a bumper sticker.

Of course, if Kerry does run ads on African-American or (and?) Hispanic cable networks and sends a postcard to Donna Brazile’s dad and a bumper sticker to her sisters, then of course he will all of a sudden become a great man and a visionary.

At least Ms. Brazile is honest about the price of her endorsement, which allows us to judge its worth.

    Not to mention that having been manager of one of the most inept presidential campaigns in recent memory doesn’t exactly entitle one to be taken seriously…

    I agree with Steve twice in one day on two different boards. Surely this is on of the signs of the Apocalypse.

    However, I believe it might be a bit more fair to Ms. Brazile to interpret her meaning to be that if John Kerry doesn’t even have enougyh sense to do even the most basic campaigning then he does not even meet the minimum standards for “great man” and “visionary”.

    Kerry-Edwards Stratagem victorious – Play the Justice card

    Nader, J.E. Hoover, Script(s)/copy/concept

    Iraq – an “exit” strategy

    Sen. Kerry:

    – “Elect us along with your Democratic Senatorial candidates ‘clean sweep’ for

    control of the Senate and we will nominate and confirm Ralph Nader to be the

    next Attorney General of the United States of America with the full support

    of our administration. Millions of disaffecteds may come out to vote.

    Note: a) Republican million$ spent in support of Ralph Nader to date.

    b) Democratic President without one house of congress like painting

    a target on his back, vis-a-vis President Clinton !

    – First Executive Order will be to take J. Edgar Hoover’s name down off of

    FBI buildings and cure that insult to citizens and agents of racial and ethnic

    diversity and color. ” I’m John Kerry and that’s no jive !”

    IRAQ:

    – Respectfully the only sane Exit Strategy ~ perhaps to be announced after the election.

    – Respectfully thus to delimit our domestic discord, divisions and loss of precious lives.

    1) Pull back all USA forces to ONLY secure their entire energy production, pipeline, delivery

    facilities infrastructure and ports, thus to operate along with any allied forces pursuant to U.N.

    and international cooperation to be had, albeit our troops under total USA control.

    2) Use ONLY highly paid Bonus combat volunteer$ USA troops, volunteer allied troops and

    private contract security forces, all operating under USA control in accord with U.N. and

    international agreements, to wit:

    3) Provide the net/net Iraqi oil revenues to the legal constitutional presiding Iraqi government

    (whom, what and howsoever duly constituted and in futuro) pursuant to a long term, i.e., 50 to

    to 99 year oil production, security, lease contract, e.g., Guantanamo Naval Base, with the

    present Iraqi government; all in cooperation with the U.N. operating under USA control.

    4) Thus to more nearly guarantee our allies with stable petroleum supplies had in cooperation

    with the more stable Arab and Islamic governments hopefully to portend some greater peace

    being achieved in that region of the world forever ~ amen !
